Type Indian skimmer into the search bar and a rather peculiar-looking bird will pop up. A seemingly ordinary-looking black and white avian with a large oddly-fitted orange bill that looks like an arts and crafts project gone wrong. If you watch videos of this bird feeding, you’ll know why skimmer is in its name. 

Flying low over water bodies, it skims the surface of the water with its lower mandible, looking for insect larvae, surface-dwelling fish, and crustaceans.
